Biography
By the time a teenage Dave Fraser began his professional music career, the days of the picture palace pianist accompanying every movie had long gone. But for a decade or so, that was almost Fraser’s role in the New Zealand screen industry. Needing someone to tickle ivories beneath on your feature or documentary? Help compose a jingle? Arrange or produce a soundtrack? Then Wellington-born Fraser was your go-to guy.
“I don't take myself seriously, but I take my music very seriously.”
